Van Morrison - Celtic New Year

On the surface, this shimmering Van Morrison song, "Celtic New Year," is a kinda--sorta Gaelic alternative New Year's Eve song.

But if you listen closely to the lyrics, the Belfast Cowboy is crooning about what we now call Halloween, the end of the old year and the beginning of a new one in accordance with the Celtic religion. Samhain is what they called it. At that time the wall between our world and the mystic world of spirits is the thinnest. 

The references to Indian summer and bonfires are the giveaway, the mention of Bourbon Street notwithstanding.

Happy New Year all the same!

Russian sausage tycoon and war critic dies in fall in India

As Slade Cantrell, the villain portrayed by Joe Flaherty in the SCTV parody serial "Six Gun Justice" used to say, these Russian war critics seem to die "real accidental like."

Russian sausage tycoon, Pavel Antov, died in a fall from a window at an Indian hotel, two days after a friend died during the same trip.

They were visiting the eastern state of Odisha and the millionaire, who was also a local politician, had just celebrated his birthday at the hotel. 

Antov was a well known figure in the city of Vladimir, east of Moscow. 

Last summer he denied criticising Russia's war in Ukraine after a message appeared on his WhatsApp account. 

The millionaire's death is the latest in a series of unexplained deaths involving Russian tycoons since the start of the Russian invasion, many of whom have openly criticised the war.
